To help retailers get a quotation for a new POS system IPOS are now listed on Approved Index.

IPOS may provide complete touch screen till systems with a lease finance rental agreement which is a tax efficient way of investing in a new EPOS Solution to help manage your business.

A reliable and sophisticated POS (Point of Sale) system or EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) system is essential for any sort of retail business and has many advantages over the conventional cash register. The moment a buyer reaches the cash register is the most critical point of the sale, and you don’t want anything to hinder the transaction or frustrate the customer. And obviously you want a POS system that will correctly calculate the till’s ingoings and outgoings, so your books balance at the end of the day.

A complete POS system consists of both hardware and software – the cash register and credit card processing system, and the electronic software that controls it. POS software allows you to monitor the day’s sales and collect the data on a computer for analysis. This ability to analyse and produce reports on your cash flow is the real selling point of a POS system, which is why they are generally an investment for large, high revenue businesses. Other benefits include:

· Correct pricing of items. All of your stock is inventoried in the POS system, so employees do not need to enter the price manually.

· Less chance of employee misuse, since all activity is monitored.

· Reduced paperwork, since all data is recorded electronically by the POS software.

IPOS will be able to install the POS terminal, computer hardware and the accompanying software. Even if you already have a compatible PC, you may want to buy a new system since this makes it easier for us when it comes to maintenance. IPOS will also offer a quick training course so your employees can start using their new POS system as soon as possible.

Tysso are now manufacturing the new PPC-5700 series Panel POS PC with an innovative design which includes an all-in-one touch screen terminal and an omni-directional laser bar code scanner.

The design allows a wide range of options which means the terminal may be configured for applications which include retail EPOS, convenience store, supermarket, warehouse and factory automation.

The Tysso PPC-5715 model includes a 15″ touch screen, high performance Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) processor and an omni-directional laser scanner.

The Tysso PPC-5715 terminal supports various operating systems including: Win 2000,XP pro, WEPOS and Linux.

As well as the standard VESA wall mount option the PPC-5715 terminal may be pole mounted.

One of the main features of a retail EPOS scanning system is the requirement for speed and accuracy at the point of sale. The pole mount uses a telescopic spring action design so the height may be easily adjusted to optimise the scanning operation.The Metrologic omni-directional laser scanner provides an excellent scan rate with a wide range to provide the necessary speed of operation.The pole mount also allows the screen to be moved horizontally and angled to suit the best touch screen operation.

The pole mount is also available in three designs of base which fits into both retail and industrial environments.

Options include:

• 12″, 15″ or 17″ touch screen
• Wi-Fi supported
• Magnetic swipe reader (MSR)
• Metrologic Quantum scanner engine
• RFID, I-Button (Dallas key)
• VESA 75 Wall mount

Japan Centre have now introduced not only Take-away food like the famous Misu soup and Sushi but also included an Eat-in area which is proving to be immensely popular. The increase in customers visiting the Japan Centre at peak times has meant they have had to install a further three Tysso POS 7000 terminals to cope with the volume of business.

Poswyse Software already has the required features to cope with the different NON-VAT and VAT staus for Eat-in and Take-away food so it just meant a simple change to the touch screen layout to accommodate the new configuration.

As soon as all the ten POS terminals were operational the Ocius Chip&pin solution was added to the system. This further speeded up the transaction process at each point of sale as the Ocius Chip&pin terminals are linked directly into the Poswyse software.

The main factor with speed when processing card transactions is that with their former system the sales total amount needed to be re-entered again in to the PDQ. With the Ocius solution integrated into Poswye software the amount is automatically sent to the chip&pin terminal. This also means less errors and that the reconciliation process is also much easier.

The Verifone chip&pin terminal was positioned at each POS terminal using the Space Pole stand with a tilt feature which makes it very easy for the customer to use.
